'Se7en' opening analysis



I chose this thriller opening to research because I think the opening has a good idea behind it and it's the kind of thing our group would like to do.

The opening to this film is good because it creates mystery, however it also forshadows what is going to happen later on in the film. I think the way the credits flash up between clips has a really good effect and helps to create the suspense and mystery. Another good feature of this opening is that you can tell what kind of film it is going to be and that it is going to be a horror film as it appears that someone is trying to hide something and it includes some gruesome things like someone cutting their fingerprints off. Although we might not be able to do something that extreme, we can add spooky things like this to let the audience know what kind of film it is going to be. Something else that has a nice effect and could be a good idea for our opening is when the name of the film flashes up mid opening and it appears to be on one of the objects which if we could find a way of doing that would also be very good and interesting to include.
